2. Connect black negative battery cable (B: from
frame ground) to negative battery post. Tighten to
70 in-lbs (8 Nm).
3. Install red battery post cover (shipped with loose

NOTE: In areas where temperatures fall below 0 °F
(-18 °C), a pad type battery warmer is recommended to
aid in cold climate starting. The battery warmer is avail-
